Hi,
Does anybody know of any implications that may arise to an oracle database, if the IP address of the server is changed?
I'm using 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3
Thanks in advance
 
If you've been using a named host approach in your Net8 setup, I don't believe it will have any effect on your database. The IP on my server changes now and again, but the change is transparent to my database. On the other hand, if you've been hardcoding your IP address into your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, etc files, then you will have to change all of these values and bounce your listener.
 
Thanks Carp,
That was my general feeling too, all I needed to do was edit the hosts table and stop and start the listener.
Thanks again
